NSG's Havildar Gajender Singh
January 26, 2009
Unnikrishnan's NSG colleague, Havildar Gajender Singh from the Army's Parachute Regiment, got his gallantry medal for leading his squad in the operation to rescue hostages from the terrorists holed up at Nariman House.
After clearing the top floor of the terrorists, he reached the place where the ultras had taken position. As he closed in, the terrorists hurled a grenade injuring him.
Undeterred, Gajender Singh kept firing and closing in on the terrorists by exposing himself to the hostile fire. In the act, he injured one of the terrorists and forced others to retreat inside a room. He continued the encounter till he succumbed to injuries.
